Further, the report states that one challenge in Tissue Ablation Market is complications associated with energy and laser-based ablation devices. Risks associated with tissue ablation procedures include infection, thermal damage, and bleeding and in some cases may even be fatal. The procedure performed depends on the condition. For instance, in cardiac ablation procedures, EP ablation catheters are used. Venous thrombosis is the most common complication of its use.
Other complications include stroke, esophageal injury, blood clots in the leg, damage to blood vessels, partial collapse of the lung, and even death. Catheter ablation involves radiation, which increases the risk of cancer and may sometimes cause permanent damage to the heart ' s normal functioning, resulting in slowing down of heartbeat that may require the implantation of a permanent pacemaker. Likewise, treatment of diseases such as liver tumors can result in liver failure.
